Chapter 4

Rukia sat down on the soft tatami mat slowly as her head pounded. Ever since Ichigo was kidnapped, she couldn't sleep, and that resulted into painful headaches. Well, compared to Grimmjow, she had it easy. Grimmjow wouldn't eat, drink, or sleep. He's usually seen in the underground just smashing large boulders with his bare fists until they tore open and began profusely bleeding. He was frustrated, couldn't do anything to bring Ichigo back to him.

"Ichigo.. Look what've you've done idiot. You made us all a wreck, just without you being here." Rukia mumbled, her amethyst eyes saddened and half-lidded. She began to lean against the wall, falling slowly asleep. Once she drifted into unconsciousness, Renji came in, sliding the door. He looked down at the sight before him, and his eyes softened.

"Stupid, if you lay here you'll get a cold." Renji sighed as he lifted Rukia up into a bridal-style carry. He walked over to another room and placed her on a bed, pulling the covers on top of her. He brushed a stray hair out of her face and sighed as he turned to leave.

"Ichigo, you idiot." was all Renji said before he slid the door closed.

Elsewhere with Ichigo...

"..." the silence overcoming the both as Ichigo paused. What did I just say? Did I say 'dear' to this guy? Ichigo questioned himself in his mind.

Tsukishira was looking at the boy with interest. So the boy could yet resist? Tsukishira smiled maliciously. We'll have to fix that now, I cannot have a disobedient queen that won't be by my side now will it?

"Ichigo, I understand that you desire to go to those friends of yours. But you don't know the truth do you?" Ichigo snapped out of his thinking as Tsukishira spoke. He narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean the 'truth'?" Ichigo looked at the man suspiciously. Tsukishira chuckled. So he fell perfectly for it.

"The truth that they don't need you." Ichigo sat there with widened eyes. Then he narrowed them again, and growled in defiance.

"To hell that I'll ever believe the likes of you. You kidnapped me, so for the last time, LET ME GO!" Ichigo exclaimed angrily. Tsukishira frowned.

"No. You're mine. Mine and mine only." Ichigo almost shivered at the cold, possessive tone used.

"I'm not yours or anyone's damn it!" Ichigo retorted. He scowled, and Tsukishira tsked.

"Then I take it you do not care for the man. I'll warn you once more, if you do not submit, this man will die in my hands." Tsukishira snapped his fingers, and a black orb appeared, turning into a mirror, while the picture became in it clearer, Ichigo gasped.

"Grimmjow.." Ichigo's heart clenched. He saw Grimmjow on the ground of Urahara's basement, clutching his arms in pain. Panting with sweat covering his face, Grimmjow winced as he stood up to go upstairs to heal himself again. Ichigo cringed. Grimmjow looked horrible, bags under his dead looking blue eyes that used to shine with mirth.

"I..." Ichigo choked out. He looked back once more at the mirror, looking sadly at the retreating back of Grimmjow. It felt like Grimmjow was leaving him, alone with nothing. Tsukishira was probably right, if anyone had wanted to save him, they would've already. But it didn't matter, he didn't want anyone he loved to get hurt.

"I'll stay. Just promise you won't hurt any of them..please." Ichigo hung his head down. Tsukishira smiled and petted Ichigo's head softly.

"Of course, anything for my queen." Tsukishira whispered. He stood back up and opened the wooden doors, before leaving he glances back at Ichigo, then smiles and leaves.

Once he leaves, Ichigo falls back onto the bed, curling up. His heart aches, and his eyes defeated.

"I'm sorry... Sorry Grimmjow..." Ichigo mumbles to himself as he falls asleep slowly.


Told cha it would be short. Sorry for the trouble everyone!
